That's delightful! On a similar but less sexy thread, I picked up  
"Best American Science and Nature Writing". It's a year's worth of  
science writing from the New Yorker to Nature:

Whether or not you are a science aficionado, it has fun breadth and  
decent depth. Great travel reading.

> Yesterday, GeekDad Don put up the plaintive thought "I'd love to see a
> high school physics curriculum based around humorous YouBube videos."
> Well, while it might not yet be officially sanctioned curriculum
> anywhere, Wired Science has already compiled many of the best lessons
> to be found online for science education.  From our friend Aaron Rowe:
>
> Top 10 Chemistry, Biology, and Physics Videos
>
> The best way to teach science is with hands-on experiments, but short
> video clips are a terrific way to get students excited and teach
> concepts that are hard to illustrate on a chalkboard. Over the past
> year, Wired Science has compiled a list of the very best science
> videos from chemistry, physics, and biology. They can be used as a
> supplement for science classes of any grade level.
>
> In the coming years, as more content makes its way to YouTube and
> Flickr, it should be possible to find a video clip or set of slides to
> complement any lesson -- regardless of the topic. For now, these clips
> are a good start.
>
> Top 10 Chemistry Videos
> Topics: Thermite vs. Liquid Nitrogen, Gummy Bear Oxidized by Potassium
> Chlorate, German Scientist Spits Flaming Spores, The PCR Song, The
> Undulating Briggs Rauscher Reaction, How to Make Stalagmites
> Instantly, Elephant Toothpaste, How to Make Glow Sticks, The Inner
> Life of a Cell, Magnesium Burning Between Bricks of Dry Ice
>
> Top 10 Physics Videos
> Topics: Musical Tesla Coil, Mythbusters Play with Sulfur Hexafluoride,
> Boomerang in Zero Gravity, Helium Superfluid, Supersonic Halo, Sound
> Waves on Fire, Water in Zero Gravity, Ferrofluids, How Superconducting
> Levitation Works, Large Hadron Collider Rap
>
> Top 10 Biology Videos
> Topics: Immune Cell Chasing a Bacterium, How High Speed Gene
> Sequencing Works, Shrimp Jogging on a Treadmill, All About the Heart,
> The PCR Song, Glowing Mice and Stem Cells, DNA Oragami, Cyborg Monkey
> Controls Robot Arm, Evolution and Human Ancestry, Building Body Parts
> from Scratch
